Ben: "Hello Aunt Cara."
Me: "Hi there Ben. How are you?"
Ben: "America is on the other side of the world, Aunt Cara. It is on the orange side."
Me: "The orange side, huh?"
Ben: "We have an orange tree in our yard and we pick the oranges. I like orange juice, but I don't like the pulp. We have an automatic squeezer. You plug it in and make the juice. I make it with my mom. I like cooking with mom. She makes the best dinners ever. I like sandwiches, especially grilled cheese ones. It has Panera bread and cheese."
Me: "That sounds delicious. I hope I can have a grilled cheese sandwich when I visit you."
Ben: "It has bits of ham in it. Kids get the grilled cheese sandwiches and adults get soup."
Me: "But I want a grilled cheese sandwich with ham in it."
Ben: "Oh. Well, well, uh, I could share with you maybe."
Me: "That is so nice, Ben. You would give me a bite?"
Ben: "I have a bike. I have one with training wheels and one without training wheels. I ride without training wheels!! My mom teach me to ride. She loves to teach. I speed down the hill and nobody can catch me. Only a truck could catch me. My dad drives a truck."
Me: "So if I drove your dad's truck I could catch you right here in America, which is how this conversation started."
Ben: "We live in the United States of America. That is the country we live in. Everybody lives in a country city. What country city do you live in, Aunt Cara?"
Ben's mother: "You just better end this now because this conversation will go on and on for hours."
Me: "And I better stop now while I still know the answers, huh?"
Funny. What country city DO you live in aunt Cara?
